Paragraph for Question Nos. 35 and 36


A dense collection of equal number of electrons and positive ions is called neutral plasma. Certain solids containing
fixed positive ions surrounded by free electrons can be treated as neutral plasma. Let ‘N’ be the number density of
free electrons, each of mass ‘m’. When the electrons are subjected to an electric field, they are displaced relatively
away from the heavy positive ions. If the electric field becomes zero, the electrons begin to oscillate about the
positive ions with a natural angular frequency ‘ωp’ which is called the plasma frequency. To sustain the oscillations,
a time varying electric field needs to be applied that has an angular frequency ω, where a part of the energy is
absorbed and a part of it is reflected. As ω approaches ωp all the free electrons are set to resonance together and all
the energy is reflected. This is the explanation of high reflectivity of metals.
35. Taking the electronic charge as ‘e’ and the permittivity as ‘ε0’. Use dimensional analysis to determine the
correct expression for ωp.

Paragraph for Question Nos. 37 to 39

Phase space diagrams are useful tools in analyzing all kinds of dynamical problems.
They are especially useful in studying the changes in motion as initial position and

Momentum
momenum are changed. Here we consider some simple dynamical systems in one-
dimension. For such systems, phase space is a plane in which position is plotted along
horizontal axis and momentum is plotted along vertical axis. The phase space diagram is
x(t) vs. p(t) curve in this plane. The arrow on the curve indicates the time flow. For
example, the phase space diagram for a particle moving with constant velocity is a Position
straight line as shown in the figure. We use the sign convention in which positon or
momentum upwards (or to right) is positive and downwards (or to left) is negative.

⇒ f(x) = x2 + x ⇒ f(2) = 6.
Note: If we put x = 1 in the given equation we get f(1) = 1/3.
